    Pbf is the best fighter of this era is 40 and retired with nothing left to prove you ignorant old fool. He moved up from 130-154 and his accomplishments and resume are 10000000 light years beyond GGGs. Who can't even move up one weight. Ain't no one at 168 scared of ggg that's a myth. Ggg is the guy who at 35 has never beaten a fighter of note let that sink in. Your hypocrisy is pathetic just like most ggg fans.

    Golovkin bent over backwards to try and make the Ward fight. Despite the fact that he had a fight signed when the approach was made, they agreed to fight in the states, Ward's home country, and a 50/50 split. All they wanted was a fair shake on weight, meeting in the middle at a weight where nobody has an unfair advantage. Ward refused this because he wanted the fight at his weight in addition to everything else. The guy won't fight anybody without the deck stacked in his favour, he was the only fighter to get every super six bout on home soil. Unlike Golovkin who has fought in about 8 different countries.

    'bent over backwards' ??? :risas3::cbiggrin:

    All he had to do was sign the contract to meet Ward at 168 and he didn't do it.. That's literately all he had to do. The only thing he had to do , he didn't do.

    'agreed to fight in the States ' ?? :meparto: Golovkin lives and boxes in America. Was Ward meant to travel to Kazakhstan? How many times has GGG fought in Kazakhstan? These excuses are beyond pathetic.

    Ward never refused any fight . He answered Golovkins 154-168 challenge . Kessler , Froch and JCJ were accepted , Ward was refused.

    Sanchez was in damage control again recently claiming Ward was not able to make 168. If that's what Sanchez believed at the time , then the 164 CW put to Ward was done knowing full well he would not accept ,thus they could avoid him. They knew how to swerve Ward and that's exactly what they done.
    And they done it while having no other top level fighters available. They binned a legacy defining fight to go after nobodies.
    Any discussion of this guy ever being an ATG went down the flusher that day. :chuck::rambo1::periodico:

    Sounds like Pimple is insecure over Golovkin's dominance of 160 :lol:

    Golovkin knew Ward wouldn't accept a fair fight without loaded dice so it's all his fault for offering one?

    I give up!

    I like Danny, but it's not promising at all that he's treating this like a retirement fight. That tells me a lot about where his mental state is for a Golovkin fight. Even if he does agree to the fight now, is he really viewing it as one he can win (or at the very least, bounce back from), or is the atmosphere such that this is being looked at as an "end of the road" fight for him? If it's the latter (and that's what it comes off as now), that's the entirely wrong mentality needed to beat GGG. He'll be beaten before the first bell starts.

    What's sad is a loss wouldn't end Jacobs. He's still only 29, he's world level, and there's entertaining fights left for him. A GGG fight doesn't have to be looked at as the end of the line for him.

    I like him too and to me two loses isn´t end of any fighter story, but there are this group of people who praise fighters that haven´t lost and forget all the old greats have at least one L on their record. This applies to current ones as well.

    So yea, he didnt want to fight Ward but its not like he had to
    Regarding ATG discussion if GGG beats Canelo, then goes up to SMW takes 3 belts there ( very much possible in just 2 bouts) and he then takes a LHW strap, he s up there with the ATGs, no matter what the other names on his resume are,
    Isnt not like Andre Ward is at ATG level either, nor has wins over ATG

    I have not heard that Jacobs wants an interim fight? Where is this coming from?
